Life for Lola

Have you heard a cuckoo yet? Me neither. I read this morning (rather late for work by the way-but hey) in my country living magazine about light pollution and the disastrous effects on wildlife. It was quite illuminating. Do you know it's very difficult to find darkness in the UK these days? There is nothing as wonderful to me than a blanket of stars and it does worry me that future generations will just about be able to make out the moon because of city sprawl. So I say to you 'put that light out' don't add to toads being squashed and blackbirds up all hours. Become a careful consumer and buy low wattage bulbs. Pull your curtains, write to your MP, keep your polluting ways to yourselves and buy a telescope.
